I learned it the exact opposite - that the batter could be tagged out after running through first into fair ground, but not after running through first into foul territory. Maybe my coach didn't want to bother teaching the nuance of it, and decided turning into foul territory was a clear indication of not running to second.Note that the call itself is entirely about intent and has nothing to do with fair/foul.

Your second sentence is probably correct. You can feel free to look up the rule if you don't believe me. EDIT: of course, it's a good idea to run through in foul if you have no plans of advancing to second, to eliminate uncertainty on the part of the umpire.
